New Rule

[UNCrules2187]

Turns out Hogan is eligible. There's an exception for this season only for players already placed on IR:

Since this rule is being adopted after the cutdown to 75 players, for 2012 only, the NFL and NFLPA have agreed to a transition procedure that permits clubs to return to their 53-player active list one player placed on Reserve/Injured since the start of preseason training camp. This selection of that player must be made no later than 9:00 p.m. ET tomorrow, Friday, August 31.

Also, another interesting wrinkle: the player you bring back from IR has to be designated as the one you want to bring back WHEN he is placed on IR:

Each team may reactivate only one player placed on Reserve/Injured after 4:00 p.m., New York time, on Tuesday, September 4. That player must be “designated for return” at the time the club places him on Reserve/Injured, and such designation shall appear on that day’s Personnel Notice

Still a bum.

I thought he was a thug. Is bum and thug interchangeable? I'm confused.

On IR for an injury that happened two years ago = bum.

[SIGCHI222]

On IR for an injury that happened two years ago = bum.

On IR for an injury that happened two years ago should = released. But I'm with ya.
